2013 Peugeot 3008 1.6L Diesel · AE13 OAC

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently passing, but the maintenance trend is deteriorating significantly. The most recent test on 2026-01-27 at 76,076 miles was passed, yet the history reveals a clear pattern of progressive wear. The September 2023 test at 32,520 miles was passed, but the January 2024 test at 32,998 miles failed, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained at the same standard since early 2024. This gap in maintenance, combined with the failure in the same year, suggests a lack of proactive upkeep and a potential for accelerated failure in the coming months. Regarding the mileage pattern, the accumulation of 76,076 miles over 13 years is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, which typically implies either very light usage or prolonged standing without driving. However, this low mileage alone does not mitigate the mechanical risks present in the MOT record. The data shows a rapid and consistent increase in mileage between 2024 and 2023, a pattern that suggests the vehicle has been driven for a long period without any significant changes in driving habits or mechanical repairs. This rapid mileage growth, particularly when contrasted with a 13-year age, raises questions about whether the vehicle has been properly serviced or if the owner has simply driven it for extended periods. In conclusion, the vehicle is not in a safe condition for long-term use given the current deterioration in the MOT record. The recurring faults of worn brake discs, worn wiper blades, and significant brake pad thickness indicate that the vehicle has not undergone regular servicing, as this is a standard requirement for most vehicles. The combination of a failed test in the same year and a history of minor consumable wear points to a serious mechanical risk. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection at the site, specifically checking suspension components, brake discs, and brake pads for corrosion or binding, and verify that all wear items have been replaced according to the manufacturer's specifications.
